Time and The Image.

Time and the image.

I chose this as my final image for this image lab. This was for many reasons, for example I thought the composition was eye catching, not having the main focal point in the centre but slightly off set unlike in the other shot. Looking at the image also gave me think of connotations of wildness and rawness. I visualised a Lion roaring and the streaks of light coming from the side were its whiskers and the faint shadows of light on the top its ears.

This image is meant to symbolise movement and the rigidness of the choices we make which determine these movements.

I enjoyed this project as I like working digitally and work which is colourful, to me is more inviting and appeals to me more as an artist.

Time and the Image.

I've always liked the idea of long exposures in images especially those which are full of colour. I think they create a kind of abstractness that instantly appeals to an audience as they are made to look for details within the image trying to work out what things are by their lines and colours.

At first I attempted to take a few photos that were inspired by Alexey Titarenko's work I had seen.

30 second exposure.

I went to the christmas markets with the narrative of getting ready for christmas as that is what the buzz of this time of year is for.

Although I like this idea it just wasn't as appealing to me as I had expected so chose to move to a new idea.

I used 6 glow sticks and a torch to create abstract eye catching images on the basis of long exposures.

My favourite glow stick image.

The House I Once Called Home.

Some of the series' and singular images within this book I feel reflects time; past and present.

The image above reflects what I mean by this. The faded double negative used in this image creates a sense of a memory or of time that has past. I like this idea of being able to see how a certain place was before and after.

This photo shows another concept of time. The idea of photos with long exposures are appealing to me and this is the route I want to go down for my own 'time' image.

I like the way this photo shows the sheer scale of what is going on at time. I feel that it is a better representation of the business of the moment that Titarenko is trying to capture.
